We unravel the opaque money trail behind the unending attack on the Affordable Care Act, including the latest legal challenge now before the Supreme Court. At its center is a who's who of conservative funders.
I thought the Kos community might find this piece useful for identifying who the funders are behind the attack on Obamacare:
On November 14, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it would take up the case King v. Burwell, which challenges health premium subsidies at the heart of the Affordable Care Act. While that case has received loads of attention, what's been less scrutinized is how private foundations have helped to pay for this and other lawsuits brought against Obamacare. Philanthropic support for the legal attack on Obamacare is just one way that funders are channeling money into nonprofits to take down a law that has extended health coverage to millions of low-income Americans.
Who are the funders gunning to destroy Obamacare? That question isn't so easily answered, because many of the groups leading the charge against the ACA work on multiple issues and have many donors. Most grants going to such groups are for general support, leaving few concrete clues as which funders are specifically putting up money to rollback the health law.
Maybe the best way to map the money trail is to see who's funding the groups at the very forefront of the attack on Obamacare.
